It's important to have some sort of lead capture system. 

it feasable to assume I can always add it all back together if I am ready to sell to capture appreciation?

Currently working full-time as a chef for a well known restaurant group and would really be looking to connect once or twice a month.

If you do the work, you capture that 15-18+% and keep the profit in-house.Personally, I think the best option is to buy as much cheap money as possible (finance the most you can), and buy a fixer-upper where you can be more competitive. 

We sold it in July 2021 to capture the equity and move it into other projects.

Cash buyer (Landlord) captured the contract for 32,500.

My question is... if the value was truly there, why isn't the investor trying to capture that? 

My suggestion would be to sell it and capture the non taxable profit. 

When your friend told you that Wells Fargo asked her for a $1,000,000 deposit into a Wells Fargo checking account in exchange for doing her jumbo refinance, that's what we're talking about when we say "general ease of availability" -- asking someone for a $1,000,000 deposit to do their refi would be NOT "generally easy and available" for most people (lol).It is not yet captured in any publicly facing data, but I'm seeing indications that jumbo may right now be turning the other direction.https://www.mba.org/news-resea...
